Once upon a time, I used to do quite a lot of sailing in Greystones SC, about 20 miles south of Dublin, on the Irish east coast. I raced Enterprises, Lasers, Laser 2s (showing my age now!) and occassionally stood on the foredeck on J24s.
I built Enterprises (http://www.sailenterprise.org.uk/), a double chined wooden dinghy in he past, stopped sailing for over 15 years and am now back sailing in East Down YC, about 20 miles south of Belfast.
I sail a 'Wayfarer' dinghy (http://www.wayfarer.org.uk/), big and heavy, but have always wanted to build a dinghy to sail again............and decided on the OK Dinghy.
I have had great advice from a few people, especially on the far side of the world, a special thanks to Colin Lynch for all advice so far.........
Well, here goes...................back into the world of building.
I will keep this blog up to date with my thoughts, wonderings and decisions, as well as photos of the build progress. If all goes well, I will be sailing a new OK Dinghy this summer (famous last words.......)
